The install of the DSE parts are looking great Kevin.

Cooling a car of this power level is a challenge, especially with a supercharger and air conditioning. We fabricated some mounting bracket for the intercooler heat exchanger to mount behind the radiator, sandwiching the Vintage Air condenser coil and the Be Cool radiator.







The Quartermaster dual disc clutch will be used to transfer the power from the engine through the Tremec T56 Magnum transmission.

Next, the engine and transmission or test fitted to the car to determine transmission tunnel modifications. The transmission required enlarging the tunnel in the floor for clearance.

why would you weld the subframe connectors to the front subframe? why not have them bolt into the subframe connectors so the subframe can be removed?

That's a matter of preference by the car owner. Welding it is obviously stiffer than bolting, but bolting it in makes it removable. Many feel a bolt-in is better for track usage just incase of a "whoopsie" and the car needs to come apart, but we've also found that if it needs repair, any reputable shop can cut the connection, fix the car, and re-weld it pretty easily. We've done it both ways.

Every state seems to handle this differently, and Dynacorn provides some links to the individual state requirements.

This car is going to live outside the USA, so the customer is handling that end.
